166 sachs or 090 stihl

[e.j. mcnamara]

what is more rare the 166 sachs or 090 stilh i own both and it seems that the 166 is more rare i have been looking for some parts for my 166 but never seem to find them on ebay or any where else what are these saws worth on ebay

 

[Chopwood]

hey EJ, I think the 166 is more rare. I have only seen three of them in person. I have seen probably five in pictures. Most of them belong to the cutting edge in NY. I have probably seen two hundred 090's in person or in pictures.

The 166 is also an about 25 years newer design, but "only" 118cc vs 137cc.....

 

[HELSEL]

If they were both setting there new, I would take the Dolmar 166

 

[e.j. mcnamara]

166 is my favorite saw to run and to own seems to have more power than the 090:greenchainsaw:

 

[Jacob J.]

A 166 with an 090 top end is even more rare!

 

[e.j. mcnamara]

wow

have you seen one latelyumpkin2:

what alot of people don't know is the 166 sachs can except the 090 or 3120 husky cylinder and piston that makes for a big monster saw

A point of interest,if this info is correct.The 166 Sachs has a 2.2 inch bore and a 1.89 inch stroke,making it a tad longer that a 125 Mac which is 1.835 inch.By contrast the 090 has a 1.6 inch stroke and a big fat 2.64 inch bore.

If it were possible and it may be for all I know,to use an 090 top end and a 166 Sachs lower,the engine would be 10.345 cu inch.Providing of course my info is correct.

[SawTroll]

I see the dawn - never thought that could be possible............:yoyo: :yoyo:

 

[Stihl Crazy]

I bought a 166 that was supposed to have a 090 topend. When it showed up it had a 166 top. It is still a good performer for its age. It will cut a 2.8 for 3 cuts over the block in 8x8. I would like to find a stock 166.

 

[e.j. mcnamara]
